Your trip begins as you cross the Firth of Forth, passing the famous Forth Railway Bridge, before your first stop: Falkland. This is a beautiful village frozen in time, and has featured in Outlander. You can browse the craft shops or visit Falkland Palace*, which has the oldest tennis courts in use anywhere in the world.
